sad, Goodbye Margot, its goodbye forever.

today.. in the morning, while i was still sleeping. margot, my rough coated collie passed away. when i found her in the morning, she was totally stiff and cold. i.e. lifeless. sighs. i wont forget her, ever. going to school and patting her for the very last time was very difficult. saying Goodbye for the last time was also awful. i feel torn to pieces. the time in school wasn't easy. though we had a workshop, i couldnt pay attention. my mind wandered to think of her, my friends and memories i have had with the dear doggie. coming home was also quite awful knowing that she wouldnt be at the gate waiting for me to step in. she was burried in the garden during the afternoon.

She was the best! i had so much fun training her. rewards ranged from treats to bits of apple to being tickled on her tummy (she LOVED that). margot was forever so obedient, forgiving- letting me get away with few handling errors and she taught me so much; what i did right and what i did wrong, barking on command, always coming when called, walking at heel no matter what, chasing after little a tennis ball or a frisbee and bringing them back. very sweet and affectionate, hanging around me or wen or mum and dad. she loved eating fruits and other sweet things. the last thing i trained her to do last week was to whine on command. that was so fun! teaching her something new was always fun. i cant bring myself to write anymore without crying so i will stop here with her photo at 2 years of age.
